    I enjoyed the ride around my local cabbage patch Rory. I fly a fixed wing, a Foxbat, with superb visibility, not quite as good as an R44. A friend who flies from Bliss took me for a ride around Purbeck a couple of months ago and the helicopters characteristics felt uncanny at times but was super fun. Like you, I have to pinch myself when I am in the air, such a hard earned privilege. My joy is to take friends and family for a Solent or New Forest flip and see their pleasure writ large across their faces. I fly from a farmstrip near Lymington and Compton is one of my favourite destinations. Sadly, greed caused the closure of Old Sarum that I had as a base for many years, but Goodwood, Sandown and Lee are all within 20 minutes flight time ready to facilitate that $100 cup of coffee 🤣😎

      Yeah, they were very helpful - just lots of info to pass. That’s a lot of wind - no fun flying in that.

    Hi Rory! Fantastic video and really relatable experiences, you did great to stay calm! Can I ask what mount you are using for your insta 360 on the front windscreen? thanks!!

      Thank you - glad you enjoyed it! I think it’s one from small rig. A nice solid clamp.

    Rory, absolutely brilliant sir.
    I've been waiting for this one to hit. You've certainly checked all the boxes with this video! From a passenger who was feeling uneasy at first into one that was at ease and genuinely happy to a passenger and one who was just simply enthusiastic and joyful the entire flight. I must say I found it amusing to hear her voice quivering in time with the rotor spinning. Made me smile.
    That brings me to a question. Do you have a switch on com to remove passenger headsets to help prevent over saturation during times of need or to help you keep a sterile cockpit? Many fixwings do.
    What a pleasure it was to ride along with you on this and all of your flights. Many thanks!
    CONGRATULATIONS on the announcement of a Baby coming and also on your channels growth!!!

      Thank you David. Yes, there is a button to isolate me and ATC from the rest of the occupants but I don’t often feel the need to use it. Handy to have though! I’m delighted you enjoyed my family trip.

    Did you get around to explaining the purpose of the string to your cousin?

      I didn’t I’m afraid - and you’re the second person to mention that error. It’s a visual trim indicator.

      It’s a Flyboys one which I have embellished by adding a couple of additional flaps to.

    You should have supplied them with a Good camera, that they could take pictures with while flying.

      I do encourage that with some passengers but I worry they might get air sick looking down a lense and I mainly just want them to enjoy the experience.

    * You must have an expensive iPhone: " touch of a button and it dispense cappacheno coffee.'
    * I'll have a double Astrazeneca, no variants.
    * Are you aware of the new aviation fuel being developed in the U.S The fuel is lead free, I believe no mods needed to current combustion engines and has FAA endorsement.
    *Anyway, keep each other safe, and well, great flight "speedy'.

    You never answered Her question: What are the strings on the windsheild for? I'll tell you later. However later never comes.

      Sorry - I meant to answer her then forgot and she didn’t remind me. They are a visual trim indicator to help is see at a glance if we are flying in balance or not.
